Special Dispatch to the HERALD


SACRAMENTO, March 3.-The Capitol
presented a lively appearance to-day.
The galleries and lobby were crowded.
This was caused by the interest in
Glenn's County bill. On the second
reading the bill was opposed, principally
by Goucher. He accused Boggs of using
the State prison patronage to get votes
for the bill. He wanted Boggs to ask
for committee to investigate the
charges. Boggs declined. He will taxi
his chances with his constituents. The
bill refused second reading, 10 ayes, 20
noes. The debate lasted two hours.
Goucher changed from aye to no and
moved reconsideration. A big sack has
been used by both sides. The result on
the reconsideration is doubtful. The
Senate adjourned until 1870 to .give an
opportunity to the Finance Committee
to consider the Appropriation bill, which
will probably be reported back to the
Senate tomorrow amended. The As
sembly is in session reading bills out of
order. It is not decided yet when the
Legislature will adjourn, but it will be
perhaps next Wednesday. The Finance
Committee is still in session.

sellors Gray of the Northern Pacific,

questions, first, as to the requirements of
the Interstate Commerce bill and, sec-
opd. how transcontinental roads can get

mands of public sentiment. The result

The Inter State Bill.

On the subject Of the passage of the

Clews, of New York, says:
The bill must now be accepted as
law, for it is certain of the executive
signature, being undoubtedly pop
ular measure with the multitude, al
though it is not so with the interstate
railroads. 1t can not fail to be in
furious to the workings of these cor
porations, as its effect is to disjoint
and disorganize the methods of bust
ness. Under the law which it provides
for they will be compelled to advance
their through rates in proportion to
their local charges. This will mate
rally dwarf that class of business.
Stocks of the railroads affected by
this new law must become less valu-
able, as they will suffer by the injury
to the business of these roads. There
has been for several days past con-
siderable liquidation of the stocks,
owing to fear of the passage of this,
and this liquidation is likely to con-
tinue for some days, especially from
London holders.
